RCN TV (158) not available from Direct TV Colombia in states?

While technically illegal (what the heck) anyone having a DIRECTV Colombia system in the U.S. will notice that RCN TV is not available anymore. Well, at least from Los Angeles. yyuuuuck!

After having lost Caracol TV two years ago, it seems that RCN has been pulled from the U.S. coverage area. Anyone else lose these channels?

Looks like on my next trip -in a month- i'll have to re-patriate my Directv Colombia system since it'll be pretty much useless here in gringolandia.

Dish network Try Dishnetwork Latino. It has Telemundo, RCN, CityTV and others. It works for me in Washington DC. I don't know if you can find it in California

DISH Latino Tango,

parece que la unica opcion es Dish Latino. Claro que la senal no es la misma. Hay algunos programas que no son mostrados porque talvez los derechos se han vendido a una cadena del exterior. Por ejemplo creo que los partidos pa' la eliminatoria mundial son blockeados a lo mismo que algunas novelas.

Si conoce otra opcion cuenteme el chisme

RCN TV (158) not available from Direct TV Colombia in states Mamey - Pues yo perdi la senal aqui en Florida y crei que era la antena. La volvimos a redirigir y ya RCN esta entrando. Justo en estos dias.

No entiendo la tecnologia de satelite como pueden bloquear la senal a USA? Con mi propia ignorancia entiendo que la senal viene directo de un satelite para Colombia y cualquier pais que alcanzen a coger la senal la recibe. ALguien puede explicarme como filtran para que no llegue a USA? Usan repetidores?
